Love and Hope

The weather is changing and holidays are approaching. There are many people in need of support and help. I encourage everyone to be an inspiration to others by showing you are willing to help those in need. Show some love and give hope by donating food, clothing, or a monetary gift to your nearest shelter.  It does not take much to show love, but if you do, it is sure to inspire others to do the same.

Stafford's Weathervane Restaurant

The Stafford's Weathervane restaurant is a nice, elegant restaurant to enjoy a meal at while viewing the river. The river runs along the pier that leads to the Charlevoix South Pier Head. My wife and I were seated quickly by a friendly staff member. I had ordered their fried white fish with waffle fries. It was one of the Friday specials and offered all you can eat fried fish. My wife ordered the John Cross Lake Superior whitefish, parmesan whipped potatoes, and asparagus with carrots. The dinner was of good quality with excellent service from our waitress. We were full and turned down dessert when our waitress offered it to us. There were many great choices on the menu and when we go back we will both try something new. If you are on vacation in the Charlevoix area, I recommend this restaurant to visit for the delicious taste with a beautiful view.  View their menu at http://www.staffords.com/view-our-menus-251/.
